EDITORS COMMENTS
Travel Views of Japan and Korea," a captivating photographic series by Arnold Genthe, transports us back in time to the early 1900s. This collection, taken in 1908, showcases the unique beauty and cultural richness of Japan and Korea. Genthe's camera lens captures the essence of tranquility as we gaze upon a serene Japanese garden, where ornamental trees and plants create a symphony of colors and textures. The garden's peaceful atmosphere is further accentuated by the presence of a traditional Japanese bridge, its graceful design harmoniously blending with the natural surroundings. In contrast, we find ourselves in the bustling streets of Korea, where ancient structures and modern buildings coexist. A bridge, adorned with intricate ornamentation, spans the width of a river, connecting the past and the present. The religious significance of these countries is evident in the image of a shrine, nestled among the trees. The tranquil setting, with its white and black color palette, adds to the sense of spirituality and contemplation. This collection of travel views, captured on nitrate negatives, offers a glimpse into the heritage and art of Japan and Korea during the 20th century. Arnold Genthe's masterful use of photography invites us to explore the concept of tranquility and the unique cultural features that define these two countries. The Library of Congress in Washington D.C. is fortunate to house this remarkable collection of Travel Views of Japan and Korea by Arnold Genthe, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and history of these two countries through the lens of a master photographer.
